My main takeaway on the “moderation” debate is that Democrats would be better served by other debates besides left-right positioning, like how to develop new valence issues (corruption!) as wedge issues, and how to get attention for their policy proposals in the first place

On the other hand, that the list of unpopular “Democratic” policies are embraced by so few actual Democrats running for office, especially in competitive seats, makes this whole exercise seem like a bit of an argument with a strawman

It’s official: I’m running for Congress to represent San Francisco!
I’ll fight for our city – against Trump’s takeover, for our values, & for real progress. I’ve delivered on housing, healthcare, clean energy, & civil rights – & I’ll do it again.
Let’s build the future our city & country deserve.

Scott Wiener is done waiting on Nancy Pelosi. He’s running in 2026, sources say
San Francisco’s state senator previously said he would wait for Pelosi to retire from Congress, but polling and a progressive challenger changed the game.

McDonnell v. United States isn't the only factor that led to this, but it's a major one, and it's in the Top 10 SCOTUS precedents that must be reversed. I don't care that it was unanimous.
The gutting thing is when I speak to anybody under 25 or so, and they… don’t know this is unusual. The only America they’ve ever known is this openly corrupt, broken one.
I obviously had… low expectations for this year once the election was called but i honestly think the first moment I Knew how screwed we were — as a nation, our politics, or democratic health, our media — was the trump doj Eric Adams scandal just came & went, like it was another thing in the news

California should just dissolve all of its city governments. Nothing is gained by keeping them around.
JUST IN: Voters in San Francisco's Sunset District have recalled their supervisor, Joel Engardio.
Recall leads huge in early returns, nearly 2 to 1.
Engardio, who rode to office after himself working to recall SF progressives, then angered constituents by championing replacing the "Great Highway".

Not that I'm recommending this, but if one of the 2028 Dems does some snark at the media's expense - like "look, I know you guys wanted Trump to win" - he/she will raise $2 million online in a day
Let’s remember: What CBS cut were vicious unproven slander and uncharged allegations by a Cabinet secretary targeting a private person. If we can’t draw the line against such hideous lies, is there no line left?
CBS News is giving up the power it has to hold “Face the Nation” interviewees to account. Following pressure from Trump, it has agreed not to edit interviews, even to remove false statements or propaganda uttered by political operatives and officials, or add explanatory context.

I am curious in what sense "pro Israel" and "anti establishment" go together
two thoughts. 1) this prose is *rough*. 2) describing weiss as possessing a “shit-kicking anti-establishment disposition” is evidence you’ve suffered a brain injury
You can start getting ready for CBS News guided by Bari Weiss of the Free Press. This is from Dylan Byers. [Paywall likely]
"I am told David plans to give Bari a role at CBS News that would, among other things, task his fellow Millennial with guiding the editorial direction of the division."
